Hey, Kiss fans! Have the memoirs from Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, and
Ace Frehley (not to mention the band’s official biography) left you
kraving more Kisstory? Good news: Simmons and Paul Stanley are writing yet another book.

The new tome, titled ‘Nothin’ to Lose: The Making of Kiss (1972-75),’
is due out on August 20, and will find the duo working with co-author
Ken Sharp to compile an oral history of the band’s early years.
According to the press release announcing the book, “the 544-page
hardcover draws on more than 200 interviews, offering a captivating and
intimate fly-on-the-wall account of their launch, charting the struggles
and ultimate victories that led them to the threshold of superstardom.”

The release, which goes on to promise “an indelible and irresistible
portrait of a band on the rise and the music scene they changed
forever,” also includes an undeniably impressive list of interviewees
such as Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, and members of Aerosmith,
Black Sabbath, and Rush.

It all adds up to an awful lot of
literary activity — particularly for Stanley, who recently announced
that he’s working on an autobiography of his own. As he put it in an
equally funny and cocky statement, “with the three other guys from the
original lineup having written books, it’s kind of like, ‘OK, have you
all said your piece? OK? Now let me tell you what happened.’”
